Guess What??

Hey guys guess what?
Chicken butt... :) No but for reals I am going to be on channel 4 news tomorrow Febuary 9th at 4pm. Nadia Crow interviewed me about what has been going on and what I think about getting my new heart. So stay tuned...
It is Heart Awareness week at IMC in Murray. So wear your red all this month!!
I attempted to achieve one of my resolutions last weekend and failed. I tried to climb Mount  Olympus. I started off great but then my legs got fatigued, so I took a break. This happened many more times until Steve said okay lets turn around. I was pretty bummed, but Steve tells me I'm still not out of the woods. Like T Swift song "Are we out of the woods" :)
I am getting really anxious to receive my new heart. At my last clinic appointment on the 3rd they thought it was going to be this past weekend but no call. Trying to stay optimistic and keep my mind busy. Which can be a little challenging sometimes, but Wrigley can always get me to stop thinking about it. But no complaints and everyday I have Gus (my LVAD) that means the stronger I will be and quicker recovery time! I have been feeling sooo good for example, I have been wanting to go for a run every single day now and someday I will be able to. Whoot whoo!!



Ooo also I found this AMAZING bakery called Sweet Cake and its a GF bake shop!!! All their stuff is GF I was pretty impressed. 457 E 300 S downtown SLC

quarantine = self reflection

I was talking with my lovely mother on Facetime this morning and she suggested to post on my blog. I look at my blog and noticed I haven't posted since November! So here you go, during this crazy time I am no longer working and my day to day tasks have shifted drastically. I am sure all of you know what is going on all over the world. I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy. I have been in this situation before. I was taken out of the game due to my heart, my life was soccer. Now my life was going to work and heading off to soccer practice, but COVID-19 has taken that away. I am reflecting on my response when my heart wasn't doing that well. At first I was frustrated and asking why? Now I am doing the same thing. WHY? Because I am HUMAN I know!!! This time I caught myself and decided to choose another route.  My alternate route has been getting outside every darn day, no matter the weather and enjoying the beauties of this earth, sun, clouds, rain, breeze, nature, the ...

Chalk It Up as a Miracle.........

Some of you may know, but Ashley went through another Heart Transplant yesterday. After her first first new heart started to fail, we re-listed on the her on the transplant list immediately. We knew getting another heart would be a long shot, but we wanted the option to be there if a heart came available. Sure enough 18 hours on the list a second heart came available that was a perfect match for Ashley. Ironically, it took 4.5 months and then 2 hearts in the same week. We, including the doctors, are all chalking it up as a miracle. It was decided not to wait to see if the first heart would handle the load she would need but rather to move forward with the new donor heart. Going through a transplant a second time makes you really feel for the family who lost their daughter, sister, spouse and friend. We are grateful again for the family and the individual who choose to give life. We were in quite a predicament and feel only divine intervention could hav...

boise

This past week was a wake up for our Wrigley. We had a dog trainer come over to our house and teach us how to break his habits of aggression towards other dogs and people. We learned how Wrigley communicates and when to give affections and praise and when not to. Now that we have the proper tools rather than the wrong ones. We are excited to help train Wrigley's behaviors into more friendly ones. This process is going to be long, but just like our surrogate process we are going to dive in and handle whatever is to come. With the surrogacy I have spoken to my parent's neighbor about being our attorney and she agreed to represent us.  This weekend we headed up to Boise. Steve and I have always liked the idea of Boise, so we went to go and checked out some places. We got these bikes at the hotel we were staying at for FREE and rode around downtown Boise. We had a blast riding around to all the places. On the way home, we stopped to see Idaho State women's soccer play. They be...
